G
When I believed in nothing
G#dim
I called her name
  Am
Trapped in a high-dollar joint
In some place
A#
I called her name

       F
And though my days were slipping by
And nights so cruel
I thought I'd die
     G
She danced her little dance
'til it made me cry
She was shakin' like this honey doing that

When I needed soul revival
I called your name
When I was falling to pieces
I screamed in pain

Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance
'til it made me cry
You were shakin' like this honey doing that

Chorus:
              C  A# C A#
Never let me down
                  Am
She never let me down
               C A# C A#
Never let me down
                  Am
She never let me down

When all your faith is failing
Call my name
When you've got nothing coming
Call my name

I'll be strong for all it takes
I'll cover your head
Till the bad stuff breaks
I'll dance my little dance
Till it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that

Chorus:
Never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
